After a week of hiking in Sardinia we still had another week to explore the island. We started out with a trip to the Gola di Gorropu, which is a natural limestone gorge to the north-west of where we had been hiking.
The drive to the gorge was breathtaking with many steep mountain passes and narrow roads, and the last few miles required us to hike down to the gorge by foot. The water level was quite high so in places we had to wade along the path in the gorge and the water was very, very cold!
On our way home we stopped at the town of Urzulei where we wandered around for a few hours. The mountain town had some great old buildings and a few impressive murals of life in the hinterland of Sardinia.
